Why Your Vehicle's Cooling System is Critical in Plano, TX

Your vehicle's cooling system is a vital network designed to regulate engine temperature, preventing overheating that can cause severe and expensive damage.

We understand the unique demands placed on vehicles here and are committed to proactive solutions.

Steam from Under the Hood: A clear sign of overheating.
Low Coolant Levels: Frequently needing to top off your coolant reservoir.

Our Comprehensive Cooling System Inspection Process

At Marlow Automotive, trust and transparency are at the core of everything we do. When you bring your vehicle in for cooling system concerns, our expert technicians perform a thorough, multi-point digital vehicle inspection.

Digital Vehicle Inspections for Your Peace of Mind

Our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment allows us to accurately pinpoint any issues. We go a step further by providing you with a digital vehicle inspection, complete with photos and videos of your vehicle's cooling system. This empowers you to see exactly what needs attention and understand the recommended repairs, helping you make informed decisions with confidence, not pressure. We inspect every component, including:

Radiator: Checking for leaks, corrosion, or blockages.
Hoses: Inspecting for cracks, leaks, or deterioration.
Water Pump: Testing for proper circulation and signs of failure.
Thermostat: Ensuring it opens and closes correctly to regulate temperature.
Coolant: Checking levels, condition, and concentration.
Cooling Fans: Verifying proper operation.

Specialized Cooling System Repairs We Offer

Our team is equipped with advanced tools and expertise to address all aspects of your cooling system. Whether it's a minor leak or a major component failure, we deliver precise, lasting repairs.

Radiator Repair & Replacement

The radiator is crucial for dissipating heat. If you have a leaking, corroded, or damaged radiator, your engine will quickly overheat. Our technicians specialize in efficient radiator repair in Plano, TX, or expert replacement using quality parts, ensuring optimal heat exchange for your engine.

Water Pump Service & Replacement

The water pump circulates coolant throughout your engine. A failing water pump can lead to rapid overheating and severe engine damage. We accurately diagnose water pump issues and provide reliable water pump replacement, restoring proper coolant flow and protecting your engine.

Thermostat Replacement

The thermostat controls the flow of coolant, ensuring your engine reaches and maintains its ideal operating temperature. A stuck-open or stuck-closed thermostat can lead to inefficient operation or dangerous overheating. Our team will replace faulty thermostats, restoring precise temperature regulation.

Hose & Belt Inspection & Replacement

Cooling system hoses can crack, swell, or leak over time, while belts drive crucial components like the water pump. We meticulously inspect all hoses and belts, replacing any that show signs of wear to prevent leaks, ruptures, and component failures.

Preventative Cooling System Maintenance: Your Best Defense

Routine maintenance is the most effective way to extend the life of your cooling system and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Our preventative services are designed to keep your engine running efficiently and reliably.

Coolant Flushes & System Checks

Over time, coolant degrades and can become contaminated, losing its ability to protect against corrosion and extreme temperatures. A coolant flush removes old, degraded coolant and replaces it with fresh, high-quality fluid, providing maximum protection for your engine. We recommend regular coolant flushes as part of your vehicle's maintenance schedule. During this service, we also perform a thorough system check to identify potential issues before they become major problems.

LeAnn D.

This is the best mechanic you could ever go to hand down. They are the most respectful honest shop I have ever been to. For years I have only brought my vehicles to these guys if I can't fix something and they give me an honest price. Thank you so much guys for all you do. Take a stack of business cards and spread the word! If you're hesitant on a shop to trust take my word and trust these men, you will not regret it. Thank you Marlow Automotive, I can't wait to bring my next project back.

Anthony C.

I had a great experience Marlow Automotive. From the moment I made the phone call and spoke with Billie I knew I was in great hands. When I arrived for my appointment Walter and Billie took great care of my needs. Very professional and most importantly very honest! I paid for my parts and labor and left until the work was done. Walter advised exactly when I could expect completion of the work. He was spot on. Upon my arrival to pick up my vehicle I was advised one part that was ordered was not needed.

Antwan R.

Great place and great people working at this shop. Especially Jose Arias, I had took my vehicle to several shops and nobody was able to find a solution to what was wrong with my car. Thanks to Jose he was able to diagnose my vehicle and also showed me the report of what was wrong in detailed information. Will definitely be bringing my cars and sending people towards Marlow Automotive for any future car services. Ask for Jose!

Bryan R.

As the owner of an older Honda, I'm happy to have a mechanic I can trust and one who has the technical skill and expertise to get to the bottom of any problem I report. While an older vehicle does cost money to keep in good shape, I trust Marlowe Automotive to deal honestly, fairly and provide technical excellence. My vehicle is quite happy now and running really well, Thanks!

Dan M.

The staffs attention to detail and personalized approach made me feel valued as a customer. They were extremely nice, respectful, friendly, kind, communicative, responsive & efficient. The inspection results with pictures as well estimate of work was so detailed, thorough & my vehicle was delivered as promised. On top of that, they were so quick to ask if I need a ride. In just a matter a minute or two, the ride was ready to drive me from & to the auto shop.The drivers were extremely nice, friendly, kind & courteous. I will definitely recommend Marlow Automotive for its stellar service, expertise & honesty - Nona Sulier

Gary S.

Very professional service. Billy was upfront and very clear with respect to the vehicle issues i faced. I definitely will use Marlow Automotive again when needed and will highly recommend them to others.

Jim G.

I could not be more pleased with my experience here at Marlow Automotive. I came in with a problem that the dealership quoted me an absolutely outrageous price to fix (in fact, told me it couldn't be fixed and I would need a new engine or car) I felt something was off with their diagnosis, so I asked some friends for trustworthy mechanics in DFW and boy did they deliver. Marlow took great care of me, explained everything they were doing in detail along the way, set up a plan for me to ensure everything is running well in the future, with a total price that was more than reasonable (seriously, the dealership could NEVER). They are kind and honest and will 100% be my "guys" moving forward! Thanks for everything!

Molly R.

Professional car care you can trust. The team at Marlow Automotive does a great job. We've used them for many years. We can always trust them to give us an honest evaluation of what needs to be done now vs what can wait to be done later. They take pride in their work, do the job right, and follow up to make sure you're satisfied. I highly recommend them. The only downside is you don't get the pampered conveniences of a large, fancy service center, like a free loan car & posh waiting area. I'd rather have trustworthy, good car service than the extra frills.

P F.

Everyone was great! Billy took excellent care of my car, everything is running great now! I have been taking my cars here for 5 years now, and have never had a bad experience. The customer service and the workmanship is excellent.

Rae M.

Another great experience! I went in for an oil change, which was done quickly. I was also given an over all review of my car, showing things that might be coming up in the future. No pressure, just giving me a heads up, which I appreciate. I trust this shop & the employees that work here.
